Pricing of Canary Diamonds

The price of canary diamonds depends on the color of the stone, and of course the size and purity. However, if all other aspects of the diamond remained constant, the color of the canary diamond mostly controls the price of the gem. The least expensive canary diamonds are those that are light in color. You can get a light yellow canary diamond of the approximate size of .75 carats priced anywhere from $1200-1800. A fancy yellow canary diamond (slightly darker in color) of the same size might typically be priced at $2200-2500. The next two colors of the canary diamond are the rarest to find, and also the most expensive. Intense yellow, which is a very rich and pure looking canary diamond, at the same size of the previous two diamonds can be priced around $3000-3500. As you can see, the price starts to go up dramatically as you get darker in color. The last shade of canary yellow diamonds is sometimes referred to as a vivid yellow. These canary diamonds of the approximate weight of .75 carats are can be priced upwards of $5000. Of course the larger the diamond, the more expensive it is. You could be easily spending $25000 on a 1.5 carat vivid yellow canary diamond if you wished.
